Just wanted to remind everyone about the 25% off deal for Husker fans for the 2023 season at my lodge (
www.babeislandslodge.com). If you are interested in that Alaskan adventure I'd make 2023 the year - remember that chinook (king salmon) fishing starts June 15, and coho (silver salmon) starts early August.
Some have been interested in combo hunting/fishing packages;
we could offer:
1) a combo deer - coho/halibut/shrimp/crab package August 1 - October 2023
2) a combo deer/bear - halibut/shrimp/crab package Sept. 1 - October 2023 - BUT, you would have to obtain a non-guided tag draw tag (DL027 permit)
3) a combo bear - halibut/shrimp/crab package, but you would have to have a non-guided tag (DL-028 permit, and wouldn't be until Spring 2024)
There are
55 tags for the Fall 2023 hunt, and 190 tags for the Spring 2024 hunt; not sure how many people apply for these, but I would think your odds with a party of 3-4 would be pretty good that one of you would get drawn. I also know that we have some big black bears around, and hunting could be very good. Add in reeling in coho salmon, a big halibut, and getting your daily catch of jumbo prawns - with at least one night feasting on Dungeness crab, and you have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You do NOT need a special tag for deer; those are a simple harvest tag.
If you are interested in either this Fall 2023 or Spring 2024 non-guided bear hunt, you need to register with
Alaska Fish & Game, and then apply for the DL027 (Fall 2023) or DL028 (Spring 24) through the
Draw Hunt Supplement. This draw application period closes on December 15.
